lyrics
I like to think that I’m laid back
Kicked up in the crib, that’s a fact
Everybody know I’m laid back
Yeah, I’m laid back, laid back, watch it stack
Pop off the top like I just shot a BB
These other rappers needy, all they lines got them looking seedy
Man, I’m feeling greedy, I keep the shine on me
You think I follow the herd, but Imma be a black sheep
I’m running on this like the Prince of Persia
School yard football, don’t blink or I’ll burn ya
Throwing deep bombs like my name was Kurt Warner
Brothers want me to go fly, but I hit them with the post corner
Subvert the order and get rid of expectations
Y’all want good vibes, but don’t leave room for elation
This sound will open up your mind, just use some concentration
Stop letting yourself get trapped, it’s all across the nation
I’m sitting on the couch, half the time I feel like I’m waiting
For what? I don’t know, something to challenge me, man, I’m just saying
I don’t have no revenge to serve, but I’m still craving
Something I can’t grab yet, but to beat y’all, I’m still racing
They said this ain’t lit, so I flipped a couple switches
They said I ain’t fly, so I copped a couple finches
I told them don’t go for money and don’t strive for riches
Cause y’all know that in the end, your life will be listless
I don’t want you to miss this
And don’t try to dismiss this
Cause when I’m in the cut, y’all goin need stitches
And I’m serving food for thought so y’all goin clean the dishes
I don’t wanna get caught up in my depression
Cause I’ll look back one day and know I had progression cause
I used to pull up with the Fifth Avenue
Now I got the blue Civic, still don’t even have a crew
My grrl be looking at me saying “I can’t even handle you”
Riding life with a saddle this last year, true enough
All this noise in my ears got me handcuffed
But I know that I got what it takes to always stand tough
Jaywood and Willem, man, you know it’s all love
I’m smiling wide now as I look to God above and I
Thank him for my gifts and my blessings
That’s why I’m always working hard, never resting
I know I gotta be open to his lessons
Cause I know that when I’m down, I shouldn’t be stressing
Y’all want to know if I’m for real, well, I keep you guessing
I’ll be a big star one day, naw, I’m just messin
